Being too attached

It will leave you standing in a lonely reality.

If you develop a very deep attachment to anything (an opinion, a field of study, a credo, a politic view, a sports team…etcetera) you will find, eventually, that no one seems to really understand you.

Since our brains filter most of the data received, any piece of information that contradicts your belief will be left out. Even if it is true.

Then your brain will create your reality with the minuscule percentage of data that made it through, reinforcing that narrative.

That will deepen the gap between you and the actual world.

If you were driving a car, would you like to actually see the road or would you rather look at a beautiful painting in the windshield, blocking your view?
